Im looking to revamp an existing site: myfriend.com. This is a social networking/referral site that promotes people that you know directly. The contest is for a logo w/ business card and web page that supports the goals listed below.

The site will be another social networking site allowing users to share resources and skills of their friends. The object is to build a homepage containing links to friends and briefly explain what they do. Whether its their full time job, hobby, sport or new interests. The site is a way of connecting people to others by way of what they specialize in. i.e.: pc repair, accounting, surfing, house repair, police officer..

When the user logs into the site, it will display a default home page. Completely configurable containing rss feeds, news and selected data. This will be ideal to be ones default home page.

When guests view the users page, they will see all the friends associated to the user. It will contain the friends. Links will be available to connect all users to each other and also add them to their list of friends.

The target audience will be professionals 21 and over.

The winner of this project will be entitled to future compensation to maintain this site.

Outside the scope of this contest:

1. Do you have access to content management for the home page? Im looking to incorporate the same or similar content as sites like start.com, netvibe.com, mygoogle.com, pageflakes.com.

2. The site will also require the ability to add friends as all social networking site allow.

3. Add an ecommerce addition to this site

If you have the skills or know how to do any of these items please contact me directly.
